    The fastest top speed ever achieved by a human was Bolt’s 12.42 meters/second (27.8 mph).

    However, anatomical studies suggest peak speeds up to 15.6-17.9 m/s (35-40 mph) are achievable.

    science btw

      That’s insanely fast. 30mph on a bike (flat, no wind) is real work. And that’s with proper gearing and, you know…wheels.
